What You Need to Know About Industrial Weighing Machines
An industrial weighing machine is a handy tool for weighing and dimensioning a variety of items. These items can include courier packages, airport luggage, and anything in between that cannot simply be opened and examined. The machines can accurately determine the weight and dimension of the item, along with a host of other information. As the technology grows and expands, weighing and dimensioning machines are becoming smarter. Some modern versions also feature complete x-ray scanning capabilities.
Teraoka offers two industrial weighing and dimensioning machines in our selection of industrial and retail products. Both these machines wear the DIGI brand to ensure their functionality and effectivity for your business. At first glance, industrial machines are large and robust. This trait impacts the way these machines are applied in a work environment. However, certain machines have fixed or allocated spots where they need to be. This concept applies to an industrial weighing and dimensioning machine. Security, safety, and the necessary information about each item or parcel is given by these functional machines.
An Industrial Weighing Machine for Your Business
Luggage check-ins at airports have standardised equipment to scan, weigh, and dimension luggage bags. This process confirms the safety and security of the contents of each luggage bag. A similar process is used at courier companies and postal services. Therefore, these machines are pivotal to the transportation of luggage, parcels, and other similar items. With such a high responsibility put on an industrial weighing and dimensioning machine, it only makes sense to get the best on the market. This is where Teraoka can deliver solutions. We offer the DIGI SPK-1000 and SPK-3000 models to help your business with weighing and dimensioning items for transport.
Starting with the SPK-1000, we offer an industrial weighing machine that goes beyond simple weighing functionality. This machine offers a large weighing and dimensioning platform to begin with. It also features an arm sensor module for dimensioning purposes. The automated interface steers away from any requirement to manually input data into the machine. As a result, human error is limited while taking measurements with this machine. The SPK-1000 has a compact design to optimise the surrounding workspace as well. Once an item is put on the machine, it automatically starts the weighing and dimensioning process.
The DIGI SPK-1000 is a complete industrial weighing machine with added features to improve its functionality. This machine is suitable for airports, warehouses, hotels, large retailers, courier companies, and anything related to dealing with items and parcels in mass. It has a staggering rated measuring speed of eight items/min, adding the necessary speed to the process to save valuable time. The arm sensor allows for wide measurements as well. This feature assists the machine to dimension larger items that are bigger than the surface area itself. The machine has a net weight of only 17 kg, and can operate in temperatures of between 0 ˚C and 40 ˚C.
For an industrial weighing machine that is focussed around logistics, the DIGI SPK-3000 is an ideal choice. This industrial weighing machine offers a much more compact approach. Accurate data collection is the name of the game regarding the SPK-3000. This machine is aimed at saving precious time for parcel and package scanning, without sacrificing on data accuracy. The SPK-3000 can accurately measure the weight and dimensions of both cuboid and non-cuboid items. Therefore, this machine can fully operate and function in a plethora of work environments.
The DIGI SPK-3000 utilises a conveyor belt to push the parcels through the machine’s scanning area. This conveyor belt has a maximum speed of 70 m/min. With average item lengths of up to 50 cm, the SPK-3000 can accurately weigh and dimension 3 500 objects/hour. An eight-inch colour TFT display keeps the operator informed on the next step in the process, and displays the necessary information from the scan itself. This machine also features a self-diagnostic function that is accessible through the touch screen display. DIGI also worked in their angle correction functionality into this industrial weighing machine. Therefore, even slanted parcels are accurately weighed and measured on the SPK-3000.
